She has become a joke in the Ye Mansion now. The previous scandal and the unclear relationship between her and Shen Yuming. Shen Yuming promised to marry her, but after waiting for three months, she didn't even see a shadow of him.

The servants in the mansion were whispering, wondering if Shen Yuming had changed his mind and didn't want to marry her. What would happen to the fourth young lady? Who would want a girl with a bad reputation?

Ye Ziru rubbed her handkerchief, looked at the Third Aunt, and called out, "Mother..."

The third aunt was taking care of the child wholeheartedly. The child was her only hope. She only raised her head when she heard Ye Ziru calling her.

"Mom, please tell Dad when Shen Yuming will come to marry me. I've been waiting for so long... Could it be that Shen Yuming has forgotten about marrying me?" She was anxious and wanted to marry into the Shen family as soon as possible so that she could feel at ease.

The third aunt frowned, "The master is very angry now. He hasn't come to Wenmayuan for the past two days. When he came, he just took a look at the child and left."

"What should we do?"

"Wait a little longer. When the storm is over, the master will forget about this matter and will naturally value the child. It will be much easier to talk about your marriage then."

"How long do we have to wait?" Ye Ziru snorted angrily, her face full of impatience.

She waited and waited for such a long time, but didn't even see a shadow!

If she waits any longer, she will become a laughing stock not only in the Ye Mansion but in the entire capital!

Ye Ziru lost her temper, and Third Aunt also felt aggrieved. She frowned and looked at her daughter coldly, "You asked for this. You rushed to be with her and ruined your innocence... You fell into Ye Yunzi's trap."

This was all Ye Yunzi's plan, but her silly daughter jumped right in without any preparation.

The Second Young Master Shen doesn't have her in his heart at all. How can she be happy if she marries him? Her life in the future will definitely be difficult.

Ye Ziru didn't think much about it. As long as she could marry Shen Yuming, she would be happy. Her heart and eyes were filled with Shen Yuming. Marrying him was the greatest happiness!

"Mom, I did this willingly. I like Shen Yuming..." she said coquettishly.

The third aunt was helpless and could only sigh.

At this time, the door of the room opened and a maid came in with a stew, which was specially made for the Third Aunt to nourish her body.

"Put it here." The third aunt said, and handed the child to the wet nurse.

The stew was rich and smooth, with stewed pig's trotters in it, which was a great tonic. Ye Ziru leaned over to take a look and smelled the strong smell. Suddenly, her face changed drastically and she covered her mouth and retched.

"Ugh, cough cough."

"Zi Ru?" The third aunt patted Ye Ziru's back gently.

"Mother, I..."

As soon as Ye Ziru smelled the stew, her stomach started churning. She shook her hands and rushed out of the room.

The Third Aunt looked at Ye Ziru's back as she ran away, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind. Her expression changed instantly, "Could it be..."

Ye Ziru walked out of the house and took a deep breath. Without the strong smell, the feeling of nausea slowly dissipated. "What's wrong with me?" She pressed her chest secretly, feeling uneasy.

Thinking about it carefully, she felt like vomiting whenever she smelled food recently, and she suddenly had a craving for sour plums, the sourer they were, the more she liked them.

This reaction is exactly the same as when my aunt was pregnant.

Ye Ziru's face turned pale and she subconsciously touched her stomach.

"I can't be..."

……

The leaves looked pale and restless.

The third aunt patted her on the back and told her to relax.

"Mom, if I really..." Ye Ziru was about to say something but stopped herself, her hands shaking unconsciously. What if she was really pregnant?

Not long after, the doctor was invited into the room, and the third aunt winked, asking everyone else to leave.

The room was quiet. The doctor stepped forward and said respectfully, "I will take Madam's pulse right now."

"Wait."

The Third Aunt stood up, asked Ye Ziru to sit on the chair, and asked her to stretch out her arm. "It's not me who needs to take the pulse. Please, doctor, take a good look at my daughter."

The doctor looked up and saw Ye Ziru. He wondered, isn't this the fourth daughter of the Ye family? Why did he treat her as a concubine?

Although he was full of questions, he calmed himself down and walked up to Ye Ziru to take her pulse.

Ye Ziru's face turned pale, and she was shaking with nervousness. She swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva with gurgling sounds in her throat.

The doctor closed his eyes, put one hand on Ye Ziru's wrist, and stroked his beard with the other hand, looking serious. After a while, he opened his eyes with a complicated expression.

"Doctor...I..." Ye Ziru stuttered and was unable to speak.

The doctor frowned and took the patient's pulse carefully again, fearing that he had made a mistake.

"Miss's pulse, this..." The doctor stared at Ye Ziru with an unpleasant expression. Some words were stuck in his throat, and he didn't know whether he should say it or not.

"Doctor Zhao, just tell me what you have to say." The third aunt said nervously.

Doctor Zhao was silent for a long time before he managed to say, "The young lady's pulse shows that she is pregnant, but..." How could the young lady of the Ye family be pregnant before she got married? If this matter were to be spread out, it would definitely cause a sensation.

Ye Ziru's heart sank, as if all the strength had been drained from her whole body. Her face turned dull and her eyes instantly lost their luster.

"I...I'm actually pregnant..."

The doctor looked grim and stood up quickly. "My medical skills are not very good. Madam, please seek help from another doctor. Maybe it was a misdiagnosis." He was anxious to distance himself from the fact that the young lady of the Ye family was pregnant before marriage. This was no joke. He dared not wade into such muddy water!

"Doctor Zhao." The third aunt hurriedly stopped Doctor Zhao and stuffed a heavy purse full of silver into his hand.

The Third Aunt said coldly, "Doctor Zhao, it is indeed a misunderstanding. You don't want to ruin your reputation, do you? Some things should be said, and some things should be kept to yourself."

Doctor Zhao clutched his purse tightly and agreed, "Yes, yes, yes."

"Then you should think about it carefully. Come here, Zi Yi."

The Third Aunt called out, and the maid outside pushed the door open and said respectfully, "Doctor Zhao, please. I will escort you out."

Doctor Zhao left in a hurry without staying for even a minute.

Inside the room, Ye Ziru sat on a wooden chair, her hands unconsciously caressing her belly. She was actually pregnant. What should she do...

"Zi Ru." The third aunt closed the door, walked over and sat next to Ye Ziru, holding her hand.

"Mom, what should I do? If this gets out, my reputation will be ruined." Ye Ziru was very scared. This matter would affect her reputation. If it got out, she would have no chance to survive in the capital.

"Don't worry, it's okay. Only the two of us know about this and we will never let anyone else know. When you marry into the Shen family, all problems will be solved." The third aunt patted the back of Ye Ziru's hand to reassure her.

"Yes, I am pregnant with Shen Yuming's child."

Thinking of this, Ye Ziru felt mixed emotions, worried but also happy. She was obsessed with Shen Yuming, and now not only could she marry him, but she was also pregnant with his child.

She stroked her belly secretly, her mood gradually calmed down, the corners of her mouth slightly raised with a smile.
